Upcoming Sciware Events

ThursdayNovember 2110 AM — Noon160 5th Ave
4th Floor ClassroomHow to (try to) publish a reproducible paper
There is a lot of code and data that goes into a paper (simulation, analysis, plotting) that doesn't belong in a software package. How do you share that code and data so that it is possible for your work to be reproducible? In this workshop, we will discuss considerations around sharing such code and data. Tools and topics will include workflow managers like Snakemake; software environments & installability; GitHub; README best practices; using repositories and data archives such as Zenodo; licensing; and more. We will focus on code and data products which are not intended to be maintained or generalizable but rather which are particular to a specific publication.

About
Sciware is a Flatiron-wide activity to share and build scientific software development and computing skills in a variety of areas. Our goal is to create an environment where everyone can discuss technologies, tools, and tricks that make their research process more efficient, across all experience levels, language and technology choices, and scientific disciplines.
We meet roughly once a month on Thursdays at 3pm and focus on a specific topic, bringing Flatiron (and occasionally external) expertise together to demonstrate and discuss everything from debuggers to editors to file formats, optimization to packaging. Events are open to all Flatiron and Simons Foundation researchers, as well as their external students and collaborators.
There is also a #sciware channel on the Simons Foundation Slack that everyone is encouraged to join and ask questions, share knowledge, or request code reviews.
